Hotel location is good. I did not need to interact with the staff much which for me is positive. Room cleaning could be more thorough (stains on wall). Wifi was excellent. I was on the first floor from the side of the busy road, there is some noise but I had no trouble sleeping. More

first night couldn't sleep because of heating appliances noises, shower so small I couldn't even wash myself, the only window faced a heater puffer room in the backyard. changed the room, noticed a weird smell, I thought someone smoked even it was a no -smoking room. couldn't sleep again because it rained (not unusual in UK) and a huge drip...

I stayed here for one night prior to a business meeting the following day. This is a budget hotel with very limited facilities and in a tricky location, it's cheap and clean but nothing else. The traffic in Reading is appalling and getting to the hotel from Slough (20 miles) took 1 hour 20 mins and the 3 mile trip... More

We chose this place as we wanted an apartment for our last two nights in the UK. It looks like a "dive" from the outside and inside isn't that much better. The carpet looks like it came straight out of a public bar with all the lovely stains you'd expect. The same goes for the overhead exhaust fan, no lights... More

Within easy reach of Henley, High Wycombe, and access to M1 motorway.Rooms have modern bathroom with shower... More

Looked like a crap place from the outside, but inside we were suprised. Was clean, fresh smelling, amazing amazing shower, air con. The only downside was it's noisy - Walls are paperthin so could hear our neighbours word for word. Also we paid £150 as it was the Reading festival season which is way way too much for this type...

We arrived to the hotel almost at midnight after a very long journey with a delayed flight behind us. When we opened the door to the hotel room the heat was overwhelming. Although it was nearly 25 degrees outside the radiators were smoking hot! We got ready for bed and before going to bed we met some of the hotel's... More

My partner and I really aren't ones to complain normally but this was the worst hotel we've ever stayed in! Firstly, parking at the hotel is very cramped. We were shown to our ground floor appartment next to a very busy road, and it smelt of curry. There was a window seat which was put together very badly with gaps... More

I'd recommend this hotel, and use it again should I return to Reading. It is close to the Station and buses, the bathroom was clean and well appointed, and the bedroom good. I found the location on the main road a bit noisy, but that did not stop me from sleeping. My main reason to return, however, is the amazing... More

I stayed here for one night for buisness, and I was plesently surprised. The price was very reasonable considering Reading was very £££, it was less than a 10 minute walk away from the train station and central to where I needed to be. The reception was very small but nice, and the staff were very friendly. The interior needs... More
